When it is cold, you do not want to drink, so you get dehydrated. You do not want to wash, so you get dirty and injuries can become infected. You do not want to move, so you get even colder. Cold emergencies are a common problem, but they can be overcome, and this article will explain how.

Another common cold emergency is frostbite. Frostbite occurs when the body's tissues are actually beginning to freeze and die. This usually happens at the extremities: the hands and feet, face, or ears. The affected body part will feel painful at first, then will go numb. Sometimes, the victim will not notice anything. If you see gray or white patches on the victim's skin, frostbite is definitely present. Treat by warming up the injury, but not too fast or too roughly. If you place the affected injury in water, use warm instead of hot water, and never rub frostbite -- this will make the frostbite worse. If possible, get the victim out of the elements. It's important to get the victim to a doctor after a case of frostbite. Emergencies happen easily in the cold, but if you follow these tips you will know exactly what to do!
